A Timeless Ontario Country Wedding

07/22/15

The Shiloh church in Colborne, Ontario is tucked out of the way at the end of a dirt road. These days it is only open one day a year for their anniversary service, with one exception in 2015. In 1950 Shiloh Church heard the vows of Allison’s grandparents and on July 4, 2015 the weathered church heard another set of vows. The personal vows of Allison and Michael.

To know these two is to admire their commitment to each other and their adventurous spirit. Typewritten letters crossed the ocean to began their journey and Allison embarked on a recent solo trip on the El Camino. Tomorrow they depart for a little cottage in Nova Scotia. The rest of their tomorrows will be extraordinary.

I don’t fancy myself a writer. On the other hand, I can read like nobody’s business. And I have to tell you that reading Michael’s sonnets completely blew me away. They are a combination of touching and funny and feel like real life.

These photos have totally captured the quaintness and serene setting of this little country church, where I have been so fortunate to live beside most of my life. The candid quiet shots are breathtaking and of course the beautiful bride in her vintage style attire just makes everything perfect!! Excellent photography!ReplyCancel
